Senri Oe - Class of '88 (2023) [Hi-Res]

Senri Oe
Jazz pianist, singer, songwriter, and actor Senri Oe was born on September 6, 1960, in Fujidera City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan.

Senri Oe’s new album, CLASS OF ‘88, is a second masterful translation of his iconic pop songs into jazz. An expansion of the concept in his critically acclaimed 2018 album Boys & Girls, it re-imagines songs Oe wrote and performed during his stadium filling days as a J-pop star. Whereas Boys & Girls was arranged for solo piano, CLASS OF ‘88 incorporates his dynamic trio. Oe’s 1988 album 1234 became a classic recording in the history of J-pop, and CLASS OF ‘88 transforms these nostalgic songs into new and bold jazz, celebrating milestones and experiences across his career. This evolution is at the heart of the artistic vision of pop star turned Jazz musician Senri Oe. Oe recently released his seventh jazz album, titled Letter to N.Y., completely self-produced digitally while in isolation during the pandemic-to follow his sensational first-ever trio album
